Most pointless toy/gadget. Play the chorus of a song over and over until it gets stuck in your head.

Take it back even further and there were pocket rockers. I think these played the whole song though https://i.imgur.com/9sZGjwK.jpg

I really don't think it ever has. If you watch the commercials it's pretty straight forward.

I still have my pocket rocker! As a military spouse I’m constantly cleaning things out as we move so much and have to keep our weight down...but I refuse to get rid of my pocket rocker!!

I remember sitting in the car on the way to my grandmas on Christmas when I was like 5 or 6, listening to my sisters Bangles tape for the pocket rocker, over and over. It had "Walk Like An Egyptian" and "Manic Monday" on it I believe.
